Palikir is the capital of the Federated States of Micronesia. Although it's classed as the capital, in reality, it's a small town on Pohnpei Island with a population of around 5,000 people.

If you're travelling to the islands for tourism or leisure, Palikir might not be the destination for you. It doesn't have giant resorts or flashy nightlife and is primarily home to government buildings. However, it is surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, with plenty of opportunities to hike and explore the island's waterfalls or go diving on the reefs.

Palikir will give you an authentic Micronesian experience and is a great starting point for your journey around the islands of Micronesia.

To get to Palikir, you first need to reach Pohnpei International Airport, currently served by Nauru Airlines and United Airlines. Direct routes from major cities aren't frequent, however, you can fly to Pohnpei from other islands in the region as well as Honolulu and Guam.
